The cone penetrometer test (CPT) is an important tool for use in geotechnical and environmental site characterization for the transportation sector. Its role as both a primary investigation technique and as a component in an overall exploration strategy are explained. The types of sensors currently used with the CPT are discussed. Among the most promising new CPT technologies are a soil moisture probe and a fluorescence detection system. Laboratory and field results using a soil moisture probe jointly developed by Ohio University and Applied Research Associates for use with the CPT are presented. Also, application of the fuel fluorescence detector (FFD) for locating hydrocarbon contamination is presented, and typical data obtained with the FFD are illustrated and discussed.

A new Rococo 2 X-ray fluorescence detector was implemented into the cryogenic sample environment at the Hard X-ray Micro/Nano-Probe beamline P06 at PETRA III, DESY, Hamburg, Germany. A four sensor-field cloverleaf design is optimized for the investigation of planar samples and operates in a backscattering geometry resulting in a large solid angle of up to 1.1 steradian. The detector, coupled with the Xspress 3 pulse processor, enables measurements at high count rates of up to 106 counts per second per sensor. The measured energy resolution of ∼129 eV (Mn Kα at 10000 counts s−1) is only minimally impaired at the highest count rates. The resulting high detection sensitivity allows for an accurate determination of trace element distributions such as in thin frozen hydrated biological specimens. First proof-of-principle measurements using continuous-movement 2D scans of frozen hydrated HeLa cells as a model system are reported to demonstrate the potential of the new detection system.
